Review: ‘Black Panther’ Shakes Up Marvel With Feeling and Flair Image Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther in the new Marvel movie. Credit Marvel/Disney Black Panther NYT Critic's Pick Directed by Ryan Coogler Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi PG-13 2h 14m More InformationA jolt of a movie, “Black Panther” creates wonder with great flair and feeling partly through something Hollywood rarely dreams of anymore: myth. The band’s evildoing ways attract the attention of the Black Panther and an international lawman in the person of a friendly C.I.A. agent (the customarily cuddly Martin Freeman), whose good-guy status is just one reminder that “Black Panther” adheres to at least some dubious Hollywood conventions. Mr. Jordan is a terrifically charismatic presence and there are times when you wonder if he might have made a better Black Panther.
